TRUE!!!! He is a firm believer in ASSumptions. They no longer qualify as WAG and are so bad a new name had to be used to describe them. That was formed using the body area where they pulled their ASSumptions from!

Hansen’s Computer outputs are based on erroneous ASSumptions! Hansen and his group do not provide data, because the results of computer modeling are not DATA. The are Computer ASSumptions that are meant to appear to be Data and the reporting groups, NOAA, HADCRU, NASA GISS and others misrepresent their findings as DATA!
They are little more than “What If Scenarios”!
Mosher is another one of the gullible that fell for the charade! BEST is a very good example of promoting computer model output as DATA!

What desperate nonsense.
The Arctic ice extent in August 1922 was aound 11,000,000 klm2 compared to around 5,000,000 klm2 in August 2012.
The article is referring to the area around Spitsbergan as it clearly states.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that the Arctic ice also lost 80% of it’s volume in 1922?!
Simply pathetic.

By the way Steve – hows the old “The sea level is falling” meme going these days?
Now that it’s back above trend and setting new record highs you will have to shout “The sea level is falling” louder than ever.
Heh heh.

Although he could have mistyped and perhaps meant 1972 or 1982 or something like that? Eco-worriers aren’t real good with dates and tend to mix up their decades and centuries when it comes to such matters… 😉

This reminds me of Brewski pointing out that there has been warming of the oceans since 1955 and “only” greenhouse gases can “explain” this. Oceans have warmed for tens of thousands of year with or without increases in CO2. If he wants to argue that there is an “anthropogenic signature”, which is fine by me, BTW, then he should argue for an acceleration in ocean warming that is distinct from other periods where the warming rates have varied. He doesn’t attempt to argue such a case, but rather opts for misdirection while simultaneously accusing everyone else of misdirection.
